Instructions
Mashed potatoes:
- Boil potatoes: Peel, wash and chop the potatoes. Place them in a saucepan, cover them with cold water, and bring to a boil. Add a good pinch of salt and simmer the potatoes for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain them well and return them to the pot.1 lb potatoes

Stir in half of the cheese. ¼ cup whole milk + 1 tablespoon butter + 1 tablespoon cream cheese + 2 tablespoons of the cheese + ground nutmeg + fine sea salt + ground black pepper
Shepherd’s pie filling:
- Make the filling while the potatoes are cooking. Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C.
- Prepare vegetables: Finely chop the onions and dice the celery and the carrot.1 onion + 1 celery stalk + 1 carrot
- Sauté: Heat the oil in a pan and cook the diced vegetables with a pinch of salt over medium-low heat for roughly 5 minutes, stirring regularly. If the vegetables start to stick to the pan, add about 2 tablespoons of stock to help loosen them. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 more minutes.1 tablespoon oil + 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- Simmer: Mix in the chopped or shredded leftover meat, peas, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and the rest of the stock. Stir to combine and simmer for approximately 3 minutes, until the mixture is heated through and most of the liquid has evaporated.1 lb leftover lamb + ⅓ cup frozen peas + ½ teaspoon thyme + ¼ teaspoon rosemary + ½ teaspoon fine sea salt + ½ teaspoon ground black pepper + 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce + ⅓ cup stock
- Assemble the pie: Transfer the meat mixture to the lightly greased casserole dish. Top it with the mashed potatoes and sprinkle it with the remaining 2 tablespoons of grated cheese.
- Bake the Shepherd’s pie for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden. Let it rest for about 5 minutes, then serve.
Notes
- Potatoes: Floury/mealy or all-purpose potatoes. Don’t use waxy potatoes to make mash.
- Lamb: You can use any leftover lamb, such as roast or pulled lamb, lamb shoulder, leg, or shanks.
- Amount of meat: Use about 14-23 oz/ 400 g to 600g of leftover lamb or whatever you have on hand. If you're short on meat, add more veggies or sauté some mushrooms with them to fill out the pie.
- Stock: Any kind you have: chicken, beef, lamb, vegetable stock, or broth.
